last thursday I had taken a zelnorm because i had not had a bowel movement in about a week. since I have not stopped using the bathroom, all day and throughout the night, if i eat or drink anything I have to run to the bathroom within minutes and I have pains and bloatiness in my stomache. this has never happened before when I take the medication. I am afraid to leave the house and I have lost 5 lbs. any suggestions?
ve had IBS with constipation for over 15 years. Before Zelnorm was removed from the market, THATS when the straining REALLY started. My parents & grandparents say I was practically born constipated. So back to my question, is there a chance the strokes came from my bathroom troubles. Any ideas?
I feel chained to the bathroom and of course never clean. Zelnorm was the beat solution and worked really well but then was taken off the market. What can I do to resolve this ever increasing problem?
I have recently have been diagnosed with Diabetic enteropathy of the colon and my Gastroenterologist has prescribed Zelnorm for this condition.Has this medication been effective in treating Diabetic enteropathy snd what are the gratest side effects? Thank you.
This looks like "official" matter. What meds are in question?
Colonoscopy showed something?
IBS is not a disease at all, and there's no drugs for IBS, as I know (my opinion). Zelnorm was even withdrawn from the (U.S.) market last year, now it might be back again.
Eryththromyacin is one drug used for it but i am taking Zelnorm a prescription drug. It can have serious effects on me as with the slowed digestion i sometimes go low after eating when i shouldn't. But any GI doctor should be familiar with the disease.
He put me on Zelnorm and I was free of everything I went to the bathroom easy!! I ate anything I wanted!! They took it off the market ( dahhh I told him that too) And then He left me hanging, started talking about a hernia in my throat. NOT my constipation! Iam doomed here. I was in shape and toned and now Im a blob. Go to a Natural Doctor and get help there. don't take
laxatives! All the things I was taking are from a doctors say so!
Now five years later my left side of my body stomach down is mildly numb and
tingles with very bad spots of shooting pain and always some
mild pain in the heal, inner foot, outer leg, hamstring in the butt and severe unexplained constipation (on Zelnorm ((until discontuned)), now Amitiza), and mild arm pain, chest pains etc. I also get very bad itching or tingling of the scrotum, left side only and anal itching or tingling, left side only.
-) but then hopefully get relief. I take Tagamet also..... Zelnorm was awesome for this but it has been taken off the market/ (gets things moving south if you know what I mean)
Reglan is the only other rx med for this on the market but side effects make it intolerable for some-
Are you on any meds at all? For other things?
It was latered blamed on the recalled medication, Zelnorm which I had been on for few years. I also suffer from fybromyalgia. Lately I've been experiencing intense pain from my neck and shoulders, including feet, ankles, legs, knees, and joints. Including between shoulder blades. All exacerbated by over extending myself. I'm also under a huge amount of stress due to a very ill 89 year old Mama 600 miles away, making travel a MUST!
I am 19 Yr old female, and at age eleven my doctor told me that i had IBS, however he didnt un any tests or anything. he prescribed me zelnorm, witch i took for about a year but stopped taking it after no results were produced if anything it had increased my pain level.
I have been through the same thing that lasted almost a week. I finally had to get some prescription strength laxative liquid plus Zelnorm. It was awful and we were at the beach! Just to lay it all out there for you, once the meds kicked in.....I was in so much pain, I was vomiting. I had to don a rubber glove and remove it manually at first! Once I got it started, i was fine after that. I spent the rest of the day on the beach and was fine.
It is under control after taking Zelnorm for 30 days and watching my diet. However in the past year and a half I have probably gained about 50 pounds for no reason. I exercise 3-4 times a week weight train 3-4 times a week and eat a reasonably healthy diet. I became really concerned when last summer I was looking to loose weight for my wedding so I started calorie counting (1500/day) and going to the gym 5 times a week doing 45 mins of cardio and 15 mins of weight training.
